I like this movie, 28 June 1999
9/10
Author: Boyo-2

I've probably seen this movie eight times by now. Needless to say I like it very much. Halle Berry is funny as hell and gives a great performance. There are parts that are heavy-handed but for the most part I was entertained and even touched by this movie.
